Paulaner Bräuhaus in München

Lunch is delicious, inexpensive and served quickly.

This is a very authentic Bavarian restaurant with good food, a pleasant atmosphere and enough space for large groups or even private events.

Decent beer. Good prices. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

I was there on November 5th, 2025. The food was excellent and the service very friendly. The atmosphere is fantastic. For me, it's the nicest traditional inn in Munich so far. Definitely recommended!

Very pleasant! The food was excellent; the Bavarians really know how to cook! Our son was also very happy with the Paulaner Spezi 😉 The service was very friendly and attentive. It was also nice that it wasn't too loud and you could easily have a conversation. Thanks for the lovely evening 😀

The service in our corner of the restaurant was extremely slow and unmotivated. There were six people sitting at the next table, three of whom were constantly smoking heet and weren't spoken to (it was a closed room). It's a shame, because the ambiance would have been nice.

The perfect place for beer lovers

Disappointed. Hostile service, expensive prices, and they don't even have beers from their own brewery. I'm from Brazil and I loved Paulaner; I traveled 9 hours only to see them tarnish the image I had of them.

Typical German. Food decent. Not too many choices.

We were there with a larger group. The food was delicious and the service very attentive. Please keep it up. 👏

We were very satisfied. The duck with chicory/corn sauce was original. The grilled platter for two was also delicious. The Kaiserschmarrn, which is flame-baked in front of the guest, is also excellent.

We were there for lunch with a larger group. There's nothing to criticize about the food or service. However, the cleanliness of the restrooms leaves a lot to be desired. That's not a good sign.

We were with you on October 3rd! Thank you so much for granting our request for a table "at the edge with a bench because of our dog"! You assigned us a wonderful corner table in the Gebrüder Thomas Stube, perfect for four people with our dog. Thank you so much for that! It was a wonderfully relaxed evening with delicious beer and food! Thank you for your very friendly service! Plus, a truly wonderful Munich atmosphere 😉 We'd love to come back!

The food was on the table within three minutes of ordering (lunchtime) – prepared in a cafeteria-style manner – and it tasted just as it should: the roast pork was bland and had no crust. The creamed schnitzel had plenty of spaetzle but hardly any sauce, and the few mushrooms were reheated and tasted subpar. A shame!

I loved this place. Great service and delicious food. Nearby the Oktoberfest. We had lunch here before going to the fest since is very hard sometimes to get a table in the tents. Will definitely come back.

Great place with amazing, friendly waiters. Beer was absolutely awesome.

We were in Munich for Oktoberfest and visited the Paulaner bar. Unfortunately, to our surprise, we encountered rude and disrespectful behavior from the manager, Sabrina. While we were drinking beer and having fun, she came over and told us we needed to pay the bill, which was quite a lot — around €650. Of course, we paid immediately, as we planned to continue enjoying our evening. However, in a harsh tone, she told us that we had to leave the restaurant because they would no longer serve us — without giving any reason. Shocked and confused, we left the place without any explanation. I will never visit this restaurant again. Avoid this person — she is completely unprofessional and inadequate.

Despite the high volume of guests (Oktoberfest season), the staff was very friendly and managed everything well. The food was traditional and delicious! The two musicians with the guitar and accordion were the icing on the cake, creating a sensational atmosphere, just as you'd expect in Bavaria.

Great selection of beers, typical place for beer festival

We were here with our friends for Oktoberfest, manager Sabrina came to us asked to pay and told us directly without reason to get outwe had receipt of 700 Euro, i never had this kind of experience ever! Not recommended…

Food and beer were great! Service was initially good (seated quickly, orders placed with drinks and meal being served in a timely manner). BUT when it came time to pay the bill, the waiter ignored us for over 30 mins. And he pressured us into tipping. I ignored previous posts about poor or indifferent service at my peril. It took a lovely experience on our last night in Munich and spoiled it.

Nice inn, especially the brewing kettles in the restaurant are beautiful to look at. The food is okay, the schnitzel was a bit dry, the salmon was good, and the portions are a good size. The chairs are rather uncomfortable, but that's often the case in inns.

Having lived around the corner for several years, we finally wanted to check out the Paulaner beer garden. We were seated in a corner of the beer garden that was apparently used as a tourist hangout. Very strange. Our server (male, middle-aged, very solidly built) was unfriendly, something we rarely experience. We left after one Maß. We didn't tip. There are so many better pubs in the neighborhood!

A successful afternoon in the beer garden and later in the lounge. Very friendly staff, great food, and top-notch beers.

Very good lunch at Paulaner. Plenty of different seating options, the food was excellent, and the service was fast and efficient.

The fact that Paulaner Bräuhaus also brews beer is immediately apparent upon entering the cozy dining room. We were there for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the Bavarian lunchtime delicacies. The value for money was also good. In addition to the Bräuhaus Zwickl and the Bräuhaus Weisse, they also had the Balthasar, a dark Bock beer that was very tasty (seasonal). The staff was very friendly and cheerful. We will definitely be back.

This brewery offers really good value for lunch, but the selection is very limited.

Despite the large crowds on the first day of the Oktoberfest, we were served courteously and promptly. The food is traditional Bavarian fare, but very fine.

We loved the food! Everyone, try the Munich schnitzel. It has a mustard and horseradish marinade underneath the breading, giving the schnitzel a super savory flavor. Also the Kaiserschmarrn, flambéed... delicious! You can park on the residential street, although it might be a little tricky. But it worked for us!

We had the worst Kaiserschmarrn ever there. The service was rather unfriendly. The restrooms weren't exactly clean.

The food was okay. The cheese spaetzle were good, but the fried potatoes weren't really that great. However, the service was terrible... We tried to place our order, the waiter only took half, then suddenly left... We weren't allowed to order the other half until 20 minutes later. Truly abysmal. And most importantly, I was sober, so I experienced it properly.

We had a group reservation at the Paulaner Bräuhaus Munich and were completely satisfied! Thank you for your great flexibility – we had to change the time three times, and it worked out perfectly each time. The food was delicious, the beer was excellent as expected, and the service was simply perfect: friendly, fast, and attentive. We'd love to come back!

The Paulaner Bräuhaus looks inviting at first glance, but anyone expecting true Bavarian tradition will be disappointed. The food is okay, but nothing special, and overall, you quickly notice that the focus is heavily on tourists. The prices are quite high and don't reflect what you'd expect from classic Bavarian inns. This has little to do with true Bavarian culture; it's more of a touristy version. It's worth going once, especially if you're having visitors from out of town—but for an authentic experience, there are better places to go.

CAREFUL ! Good food and beer. However, when it was time to pay, the waiter showed us several things on the payment terminal without explaining anything, and we didn’t have time to understand what was going on. After cheking we realised there was a 20euros mistake. We went back the next day and got a refund, which was appreciated. However, after reading other reviews, it seems this kind of “mistake” already happened. Be careful and always double-check your bill.

Went to the traditional traditional costume flea market at the Bräuhaus today. A little info for anyone else: It's taking place during normal business hours. You can wear a dirndl next to the schnitzel-munching guests, but for lederhosen, you'd have to strip down next to the innkeepers. Everything's way too tight. The flea market is very uncomfortable in bad weather. It's definitely better in the beer garden when the weather's good. It's a shame for all the exhibitors...

One of the best pubs to drink beer at will, we stopped today for lunch and I must say the service was a bit slow with the girl who didn't make herself understood very well, we tried various types of dishes but nothing special, we have eaten much better in other places, the place is very large with lots of seating, and the price is quite high for the quality of the things they offered us, on the other hand I liked the beer much more full-bodied than the others I tried these days during my stay in Germany.

The service is excellent. The food is good value for money.

Huge, beautiful location. I enjoyed the neighborhood feeling this one had, more chill than downtown. Great Weißwurst, good beer, nice garden area.

beer house with typical Bavarian restaurant, very good

The atmosphere is very nice at first glance, but then it's nothing special. The beer isn't very satisfying considering we're in Munich. The service is adequate but not overly warm. The prices are above average.

Food good, service very friendly

Simply excellent and huge. Highly recommended.

I've been there a few times during the week for lunch and took advantage of the lunch special. The prices are more than reasonable; paying less than €30 for two people is rare these days. Since we don't have a huge selection as vegetarians, we usually end up having the Kaasspatzn. They taste really, really good, and the salad is always delicious, too! I need to revise my review, as we had no luck with the food and service last time. The Kaasspatzn were completely slimy, and the service was very slow and unfriendly. We probably won't be coming back for a while.

I've been a regular customer there for over 10 years and I think the store is great!!!

A quaint, cozy must-visit for all Munich residents and tourists. Super-friendly staff, a truly Bavarian atmosphere, and a wide selection of delicious food and drinks. Highly recommended!

Love this place for its atmosphere and one of the best beers in the city

Wonderful venue with the finest Bavarian specialties and excellent service! We'd gladly return!

The Paulaner Vitali is truly fantastic. The service was impeccable. I'd happily return.

I can only recommend it. A very friendly welcome from a young lady. The waiter was also very friendly, the food was excellent - schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn were fantastic. We'll definitely come back next time we're in Munich. Greetings from Bremen.

El tour fue fantástico. Steve con Munich Walking Tours hizo un gran trabajo. Muy interesante comentario. Gran conocimiento histórico. Hizo que toda la experiencia fuera realmente atractiva.

I've been here several times before and have always been very satisfied, especially with the food and beer. However, yesterday we were in the beer garden with a larger group and wanted to get a larger table. The waiters (the gentlemen who were serving outside) were very unfriendly. Even when I suggested that we could perhaps just put two tables together if we weren't allowed to sit in the self-service area, there was no real response. Only that the waiters had discussed among themselves whether this was possible. Unfortunately, it left a very bad and unfriendly impression. When I asked if they could offer the full menu at lunch, they told me that it wasn't possible today because they were expecting a larger group, and we were almost the only large group in the beer garden the whole time. The food was still delicious, and the price (lunch menu) was very good, but there was a lack of variety and more options, such as a simple schnitzel with fries or something similar. The portions could have been a bit larger. I just want to emphasize again that the service and the waiters' unfriendliness are truly unacceptable! Their manner also makes you feel as if you don't matter or that you shouldn't have even come.

We were at Paulaner in Munich again and were served by Deniss again – simply fantastic! It was pleasantly quiet in the restaurant, we had time to enjoy ourselves, and Deniss looked after us gently, kindly, and very courteously. His calm demeanor made the visit even more enjoyable. We ordered potato wedges and chocolate mousse, both of which were truly delicious! As always, we are completely satisfied and would gladly return. A big thank you to Deniss for the great service!

Great Brauhaus! Beer and food is amazing. Recomend the Weis or kellar beer.

Nostalgic brewery service.is average the Beer is reallu good.esp their Vitali summer beer

Paulaner Bräuhaus was the first stop of my beer tour of Munich, completed with pretzels, beers, and a short explanation of the beer-making process.

Hassle-free online reservation. Friendly service, good food, and excellent beer (Zwickl).

We decided to try the Paulaner Brauhaus, one of my favourite German Beers, we arrived and found a decidedly empty restaurant, I spoke to an employee and he said to take a seat, we sat inside and a server, who was attending to a larger party , threw us a couple of menus and disappeared and never returned. We sat for 15-20 mins and still no server. We seen the same server with other customer and obviously weren’t important enough. So we left and headed to the HB brauhaus. Where there is a better atmosphere and better service.

Very good and varied food. Newly remodeled dining room, attentive service.

We stopped for the beer but ate also. Really nice place. Biergarten not as happening as some but the beer is awesome and food was really good.

Speaking for the "waited" beer garden. Food good Beer great. But: The waiters seem to be assigned to tables. So you try to make eye contact with the waiters, which they professionally ignore. A simple "I'll send my colleague" seems too much to ask. They simply look away. A gastronomic no-go. Since the waiters in charge are actually very friendly, they only get one deduction.

We sat down in a 50% empty beer garden as a group of 10 people and waited 30 minutes for a cellar doorman, who then only gave us four tickets. After another 20 minutes of waiting, we left, but tables were served before us. Never again!!!

Cheese spaetzle with vegetable broth and obviously industrially produced dumplings—I don't think I need to say more. Very friendly service. There are far better places to eat in breweries in Munich.

The food was good and the surroundings beautiful, but my overall experience was disappointing. The service was rough, mechanical, and impersonal. We were spoken to in a harsh tone by an older waiter who clearly seemed like he’d rather be anywhere else. Considering the price, I would have expected to be treated with basic courtesy. I had heard good things about this place before coming, but unfortunately, I was left very disappointed and won’t be returning.

I paid 800 Euros and didn't get my desert.

Sehr schöner Biergarten in Innenstadtlage. Zum Standard Bierangenot werden auch saisonale Biersorten angeboten wie z. B. Vitali (leichtes Sommerweizen mit einer leichten Zitronennote) oder Basilikum Zitronen Weißen. Die halbe Haxe mit zweierlei Knödel in Biersauce sowie das Urkornrisotto mit wildem Brokkoli und grünen Spargel. Zum Abschluss ist in jedem Fall der Kaiserschmarrn für 2 Personen zu empfehlen, wobei wir den zu viert geteilt haben.

⚠️Scammed⚠️. Ok food but poor service, topped up by a EUR 30 scam on the total sum. We were asked if we wanted a receipt which we didn’t find necessary. When discussing the total sum walking away from there we concluded that it wasn’t reasonable. We decided to go back to confront the waiter, who claimed that it was “an error”. Didn’t feel trustworthy at all. Eat and spend your money elsewhere!

Eh - compared to your other big brewery options (Augustiner, Lowenbrau, etc.), I would skip Paulaner. We came on a Sunday evening and it was pretty dead. They were out of both the beer and the main course that I tried to order. Service was awful (even by European standards), and despite this our waiter had the audacity to strong-arm us into paying a tip … probably because we are American (despite us living in Europe). Beer was fine, food was fine, overall experience was disappointing. Not at all worth it, go somewhere more fun!

This is a brewery directly operated by Paulaner, a representative German beer brewery established in Munich. Paulaner is one of the few German beers that I personally enjoy and know, so I wanted to visit it more than the three major breweries. Unlike other famous breweries, it is a little bit away from Marienplatz, the center of Munich, but it is not too far to visit. I visited around 3 or 4 pm and only had one beer without food. It is quite large in size with a large beer hall along with the brewery, and if you make a reservation on the website, you can tour the brewery in detail. However, it seems that the tour is not conducted very often. As I said earlier, I only had one glass (1 liter) and the beer I ordered was an unfiltered lager called Zwickel. It is a house beer that you can only find at this brewery, and it was the most delicious carbonated honey water in the world. It was so carbonated that I wondered if it was really a lager, but it had a sweetness reminiscent of honey, a savory taste of malt, and a soft body. As with all German beers, the flavor that was delivered was very strong. If I had eaten it with German food like sausage or Schweinshaxe, the taste would have been overshadowed and the pairing would have been bad. I was thinking about having one more drink, but I got up heavy because I had to go eat currywurst. PS. Paulaner is love!

Just a really bad attitude from the waitress. Everything seemed to be a major inconvenience for her. We tried to be friendly, but it was completely in vain. They don’t serve Pommes, Halbes Hendl or Pork Schnitzel (only Wiener which is expensive). We were offered a “once off” pork schnitzel but were sternly warned not to attempt to order it again. I did not think we were mega-demanding. I expect stellar service and a sense of warmness if I pay money to eat out, especially at those prices. Needless to say we will not be back, but I am sure neither the waitress nor management care in the slightest.

Very good food, service very attentive, friendly, and fast. The noise level was quite high, as is typical in a Munich brewery with lots of customers. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable.

Absolutely fantastic, super friendly when it comes to customer service. Delicious 😋 Food, a great experience and highly recommended!

The service in Biergarten was really bad. It seems they would prefer not having guests rather than working a bit. Long discussions about reserved tables while many around are available but need a quick cleaning. Waiter who keeps pushing for the order. We are then moved to another table which is wet from the rain, and the waiter asks us to dry ourselves the table... I have never experienced this attitude before.

A good brewery with a small but fine menu. The Heu Radler is excellent. Something different. Good Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) and excellent Kaiserschmarrn (sweet pancakes). Very friendly service, too. As in most larger breweries, it can get a bit noisy here, but that didn't bother us.

Great to return here after so many years -- of course the beer is still top notch, served in a beautiful space. Most memorable, however, was the absolute best Spargel I had that week (and I tried 4 different places): toothsome without being stringy, slightly nutty, with a delicate sweetness. I finally get why Spargel is such a well revered treat.

DO NOT RECOMEND!!! Very bad ppl working there. Choose another place

Nice brewery. Mediocre food quality.

Great atmosphere, super friendly service 👍🏼

An excellent waiter who always keeps an eye on things, is attentive, manages tasks in parallel, and coordinates. Hopefully, the host knows what he has in this expert! The Bavarian cuisine tastes good, and there's plenty of room in this classic inn. So, definitely give it a try 👍

Service could have been much better, more staff than patrons i side, still had to find people for service

Tucked away in the heart of Munich, Paulaner Bräuhaus felt less like a tourist trap and more like a hidden temple of Bavarian flavor. The atmosphere was authentic—no frills, just hearty food, smooth beer, and the warm clatter of locals enjoying the evening. I’ve braved jungle snakes and booby traps, but nothing hits quite like a cold pint and roast pork after a long day of adventure. If you’re looking for a great spot to rest your weary bones and enjoy a proper dinner, this place belongs in a museum… but I’m glad it’s not.

Unfriendly to children. Not recommended.

A slicker operation than other brauhaus, excellent service and the beer is top notch. Worth a stop if you're nearby!

Unfortunately, nothing special. Spaezle so da la, duck and dumplings really cheap, salad without dressing, olive oil etc, children's schnitzel with a few potatoes really sad. And then the bill came, I had the honor Ciao, we're never coming, but it was sad

Of course the beer is great! But every meal I’ve had here has been delicious! I look forward to Pauline’s every time I go to Munich!

Weisswurst flop. Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. According to the waiter, the kitchen was busy, but the restaurant was only moderately busy. In any case, the white sausages took almost an hour and weren't even hot. Unable to fit the three sausages ordered together, the 3rd arrived after about another 15 minutes. But - they were good! (If you're hungry...) Conclusion: It's better to stay away from the attractive Weisswurst offer (until 5 p.m., two pieces with a pretzel approx. €8) Paulaner beer... oh well. 2nd time there was no butter for the pretzel. I regularly can't understand any decorative knick-knacks in the windows. Decent tables and benches.

Typical Bavarian place but with a soft environment where you can enjoy quality food and talk calmly. Not frequented by foreign tourists

Good and cozy Beer place. Rustic and good food that goes well with the beer. Very nice place. But feel free to book a table if you are more than 4 and will come in the evening.

Very large portions and good value for money. As usual in a brewery, we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Outside the centre, compared to other pubs, this one is much more well looked after, which is probably also why the prices are a little higher. Fortunately the service was not painful as it happened in the others and, what should not be underestimated, the cutlery was clean. Maybe a little less characteristic than the others but it was the one where I found myself best.

Rustic brewery with a really good atmosphere and classic Bavarian food. Light beer from the tap tastes great, the pork knuckle was crispy – I would have it again.

Ate twice during our stay here. Nice place with spacious tables. Delicious salmon. Also really tasty vegetarian dishes.

It's made for groups. All the normal tables have fictitious reservations on them, in case a group comes in, so if you are a couple, or single, you need to go to the high tables by the entrance (which have a much shittier atmosphere). The food is all right, and so is the bier, but the overall feel is very touristy. I also witnessed my waitress bringing me my food, then stopping with it to chat with someone while holding the plate, quite unprofessional. Also, it's 2025, it wouldn't kill you to serve in less than 0.5l, not all of us need 1l beer picks for Instagram.

Very, very tasty food and very nice service. A good place to eat, especially for tourists 👍🏼 Thanks!

It was crowded, but the wait wasn't long, great service (in English), the lady who waits on the tables is very friendly and kind. The knee and other food ordered were great. The beer was excellent!

The Obazda, the pretzel and the beer were super tasty. The service was very friendly and quick - gladly again 😊😊😊

The beef cheek will be remembered positively! It is very loud in the restaurant.

Another delicious meal, I had the game goulash and for dessert the gingerbread mousse with ice cream. Both highly recommended. As always, everything was prepared very appetizingly. Attentive service, everything with a feel-good factor. Vegetarians are also well catered for and tasty.

An excellent experience! Fantastic brewery!

Germany! I'm glad it's a store like that.

Food and service were very good. Beautiful and well-kept brewery. The tour of the brewery was very exciting and master brewer Daniel was a cool guy. Info: A visit is worthwhile, but can only be booked in advance. Fresh beer from the in-house brewery. What more could you want 😉
